The body of each of God's children is a temple of God, which is why it is important to care for it and honor God with our decisions.

19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

God formed us in our mothers' wombs. He made each of us with great care and attention to detail. We are very precious in God's eyes, and our room is also of utmost importance and high value. Let us always remember that the beginning of the Bible tells us that we have been made in the image and likeness of God. We are the masterpiece of creation, and God has entrusted us with many things, especially the care of our bodies.

For you formed my inmost being;
You made me in my mother's womb.

Psalm 139:13

It's similar to any other resource, such as relationships or even money. God expects us to make the best decisions and to manage our Facebook page as one of the most important and valuable resources we have.
The apostle Paul paints a clear picture when he writes to the Corinthians in his first letter, showing how Christians at that time mistreated their bodies. Some were involved in practices that were not acceptable, such as inappropriate sexual practices and gluttony. This happened because they had a low esteem for the physical body. Although they separated it from the spiritual life, they considered it as nothing, believing they could do whatever they wanted with their bodies, mistreating them and indulging in abuse, and still consider themselves good Christians.

16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?

1 Corinthians 3:16

Paul warns us in chapter three, reminding us that we are God's temple and that the Holy Spirit dwells in us. This is a key reminder and makes us reflect on how valuable it is to keep our bodies in the best condition, just like God's temple. If you have now received Jesus Christ as your only and sufficient Savior, you must keep in mind that you are now God's temple, and it is important that you take care of them, even though this also affects our relationship with God and with other people.
